Cơm Gà Xối Mỡ Su Su is a Saigon street food restaurant that specializes in unique and amazing Vietnamese fried chicken. Read about it here: http://migrationology.com/2014/12/fried-chicken-saigon-vietnam/
When I asked where to eat on my trip to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, a few of you told me to check out a restaurant called Cơm Gà Xối Mỡ Su Su where the owner serves a unique and amazing style of Vietnamese grilled chicken. I actually stayed at a hotel, not too far away, so one day I decided to go check it out. I immediately recognized the restaurant by its orange chairs and by the metal shiny tables that everyone eats at, which are all lines up along the side of the wall.
The most amazing thing about Cơm Gà Xối Mỡ Su Su is the owner’s street food cooking inventions. When I arrived at the restaurant, he was busy making his famous sauce, which was being stirred in a flat pan by a paddle attachment to what looked like a commercial sized mixer. He was pretty excited to show me what he was cooking, and that he had invented the machine himself. But even how cool the mixing machine was, nothing could prepare me from the amazing waterfall fried chicken machine, that the owner also created himself for his restaurant. He cooked the chicken almost all the way, probably just baking it or something like that, and when someone makes an order, he puts a piece of chicken under the waterfall or deep frying oil, and let’s it sit in the hot oil rain for a few minutes on each side until it turns golden brown and crispy on the outside.
When you arrive to eat at Cơm Gà Xối Mỡ Su Su in Saigon, Vietnam, you basically have two choice of what to order – either a thigh or a breast of chicken. For my first plate of food, I chose to get the thigh, which came as a thigh and drumstick combination, paired with the restaurants signature orange fried rice, and the famous sauce. The chicken was crispy fried underneath the waterfall of hot oil, and it was crispy and delicious and hot. The sauce was a blend of garlic and onions, and lots of hoisin and soy sauce. The combination of the crunchy fried chicken with the sauce and the rice, was pretty wonderful. I liked it so much in fact, that I decided to order another piece of the fried chicken creation, and this time I ordered the white meat breast combination. It was actually better and bigger than the thigh I thought… so if I ever go back again, I’d probably go straight for the breast piece of chicken.
The food at Cơm Gà Xối Mỡ Su Su was pretty tasty, but even better than the food, was the unique and amazing waterfall raining deep frying machine that the owner invented and cooks his chicken with. The owner is extremely friendly, and he will definitely take care of you if you eat at his restaurant in Saigon.
Again, thank you all for recommending this restaurant to me, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Be sure to check out the full article here: http://migrationology.com/2014/12/fried-chicken-saigon-vietnam/

Mark, I notice that whenever you add a half or whole red chili to a spoonful of what you eat, you tend to to open your eyes and rolling head to the right more in appreciation! ;^)
Thanks Mark, this video has influenced me to pop over to Vietnam for a short break.. Thanks buddy. ?
Dude you are pure???. ♥️ your vlog
Yum
best yummy face ever!
Deep fried water fall WOW!!!!!
ok, that chicken looked wonderful, oh so good..
What I want to know is….what do they do with the left over soup that customers leave in the bowls etc. Is it put back in the pot for the next customer to eat.
His fried chicken is probably a million times healthier and tastier than anything we have here in America
Hey Mark i always feel hungry after seeing ur videos?..superb videos
I love Vietnam.
Whoever ate with you is a disgrace to the human race. There are many hungry children out there in the world that have nothing to eat. My parents taught me never to leave food (in this case rice) on your plate untouched. It is wasteful and disrespectful to the restaurant owner. Just order the chicken and not the rice.
One inefficient way to fry chicken
HI HI…..I AM SO HIGH MY EYES ARE BUGGING OUT
I love the decorations for the plate (j'aime bien ce plat)
waterfall chicken looked fantastic
Mark thanks for showing this undoubtedly one of the most unique methods of frying chicken, I believe the restaurant specialty was the sauce, everything else was just a side dish lol.
You make me hungry!

Dam that waterfall fried chicken looks good.
Mr.Mark you are blessed.amazing video and incredible food.
U must visit India 'Bangalore' (malleshwaram is the place in Bangalore) hotel name is hallimane ,nice place to eat?
son your pronounsation is very good you are a clever boy love you always bye
The waterfall fried chicken is so yummy. Good motivation of the device used to fried the chicken.
?❤️❤️❤️?
This is unique technique!
The beauty of that waterfall is for grease life. It pretty much auto filters the grease as you use it. But Deep frying is a superior technique because its fully submerged.
Wow..
Saigon of Vietnam is now Ho Chi Minh.
Very, it is a mysterious machine,Saigon's fried chicken looks delicious.Thank you very much.

you are too modest
you had me at sauna of garlic.
Looks gud
?
Garlic sona ? …lol …? …video liked
Ate here today based on this video and I can honestly say I've never been in a more disgusting street food restaurant in the whole of asia. The chicken was grey / black on the inside and tasted like pure oil. The rice is plain. There was rot on the ceiling dripping on to the tables. If you're in Saigon, congratulations, you're in one of the best cities in the whole world for street food, restaurants and cafes, which is why it is totally beyond me why anyone would choose to eat here. Please don't waste your time. If you have even a shred of respect for yourself, what and where you eat, you'll avoid and won't delude yourself into agreeing with this video. Also note that the place seems to be in far worse condition now in 2018 to when this video was made.
that method of cooking dated back hundreds of years when the emperor would have his cook ladle hot oil and pour it over a hanging chicken to cook it. Suppose to get the outside crispy and the inside moist. This guy just modernized it and KFC used a pressure cooker. hahaha
You must start rating the food ….some times I feels your expressions are very fake….
Dude!!! You’re killing me !! That chicken looks phenomenal.
with all that chili you eat Mark, your so skinny and how is your stomach with all those different spices> ?
Yum
sir ..you should try non veg cuisine of a special location named tundey restraunt at Lucknow..it's amazing nonveg point in Lucknow,uttarpradesh state in india
Just look at that recycled unhealthy oil (waterfall), I already lost appetite
$1.86 for the entire dish! You can't even get a hamburger here for that price. Damn I'm missing out!
